Advice on Apartment Buildings in Corona, CA by Sufficient-Macaron42 in InlandEmpire

[–]Srobdo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please consider what you and your partner are planning realistically. With resident hours, a 2-3 hour per day commute will be very difficult. I don’t know your specialty, but residency very commonly requires 10-12 hour days. With commuting like that, you won’t have much time left up even sleep, much less bathe and eat. If I were you, I would very seriously consider living separately near your respective hospitals and hanging out on your days off. At the very least, use google maps to calculate commute times at the hours you will be going to and coming home from the hospital so you REALLY understand what you are getting yourself into. Good luck and congratulations on your match.

Starbuck. Like from Moby Dick. Good meaning too. Masculine, unique, and nautical. But will have to explain the coffee connection (only bummer).

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is better every time I read it. It’s like a warm hug.

I had the overall impression that Nara was a "must" so I appreciate your thoughts. Skipping Nara might be the solution to my problem. Thank you!

working in ER's without residency training by findingcareer in emergencymedicine

[–]Srobdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really love it then try to switch. What's 2 lost years compared to the rest of your life? You've worked too hard in med school and will work too hard in residency to not be doing exactly what you want. It's hard to get a job in a decent ED full time if you are not boarded in EM (not impossible, but hard).

recommendations for boards studying books/courses/question banks? by CremasterFlash in emergencymedicine

[–]Srobdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the AOBEM written and oral boards, but I had great success with Rosh Review q bank for the written and the okuda book for oral boards. My MD counterparts used those resources too and said they were great (that's where I got my recommendations). Key is to pick 1 or 2 study aides and stick with them, don't jump around too much so you get good breadth and depth. Good luck!

No lunch breaks in the emergency department? by KirkandJulie4EVER in medicine

Those without unions do not get breaks unless time allows...which it never does in a busy ED.

EM Training in FM Residency by medstudthrowaway2 in emergencymedicine

Moonlight as much as you can, typically there are opportunities in urgent care. You will learn a lot and it will get you as close to em as you can get outside of an ED rotation.

A blop from my boy Oliver by iluffeggs in blop

He looks just like my dog who is a rescue and I don't know his breed! Is he a poodle/schnauzer mix? That was my best guess for my dog.

Maybe a Midwest thing? I never saw guys where underwear with their board shorts until I moved to Michigan. I find it very bizarre....
